Simplifying Transit Procedures: The Electronic Transport Document as a Union/Common Transit Declaration

• The electronic transport document (ETD) is used as a transit declaration for goods transported by air and sea.
• The ETD simplifies the transit regime and replaces the use of a common transit procedure.
• The ETD lists the goods loaded onto a ship or aircraft and serves as a common/Union transit declaration.
• Authorization to use the ETD is granted to applicants who meet certain requirements.
• The applicant must be established in the territory of a contracting party/customs territory of the Union.
• The applicant must declare regular use of the common/Union transit regime.
• The applicant must meet criteria established in Regulation (EU) 952/2013.
• The applicant must operate a significant number of flights/crossings between airports/ports in the Union.
